Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: docbook visual editor
Hi Andrew, [moving this discussion to docbook-apps] On Sun, Sep 16, 2001 at 05:39:23PM +0200, The DeerBear wrote: > With the occasion of this first message I introduce myself. > My name is Andrew and I am a programmer. > I've been asked to write a docbook visual editor( that may become > open-source ) We at Alcove are in the process to start working on the Thot editor (a generic editor for structured documents - part of the project is stall since '97), with the goal to add docbook support to it. Thot is already Free-Software. Maybe we can join our efforts to get it done faster and at a lower cost for everyone ? Here is a little blurb I wrote to present it internally Thot is a graphical editor for structured documents, based on motif/lesstif ans on a generic library (thotlib), both developped at INRIA in Grenoble. The last release of Thot occured in october '97. Thotlib has continued to evolve within the W3C, as a base to the Amaya browser/editor, where recently a port to Gtk was started (experimental in Amaya 5.1). Thot has the potential to be the WYSIWYG editor for DocBook which we miss for the consistency of our documents. Refs: http://www.inrialpes.fr/opera/pub/Thot/index.html http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ You can get old precompiled binaries to test it, but it looks like there are problems on GNU/Linux systems with a recent libc+toolchain - there will probably be some debugging to do (I already have a couple of build patches, but they're largely unsufficient). Linux bins: ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/editors/X/thot/ Others: http://www.inrialpes.fr/opera/pub/Thot/Doc/thoteditor/Download.html#Getting Other volunteers welcomed :) We'll probably set that up as a project on the sourceforge-like freesoftware.gnu.org, as soon as we're sure it makes no problem for the W3C/Amaya people (in CC).
